Difference between docker container commit and docker commit command

452 Views Asked by At

What is the difference between the following two commands:

docker container commit 

docker commit

I read the documentation for both the commands but couldn't found any difference between the two commands(Also both the commands contain the same options).

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/commit/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/container_commit/

The help page of both the commands show the same output on Docker 19.03

Usage:  docker container commit [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]

Create a new image from a container's changes

Options:
  -a, --author string    Author (e.g., "John Hannibal Smith <[email protected]>")
  -c, --change list      Apply Dockerfile instruction to the created image
  -m, --message string   Commit message
  -p, --pause            Pause container during commit (default true)
